EPISODE 10
What... What's going on?
That's what I want to ask you guys.
He said he had something to tell me and got down on his knees like this.
Gosh, Jun-hui. Whatever it is, you can tell me.
Why are you acting like you've done something wrong?
What's going on?
You guys...
Why the heck are you two being like this?
Hang on.
Gosh, no way.
The two of you...
It's not what I'm thinking, right?
Right?
-Mom. -Yes.
I'm sorry, Ms. Kim.
My goodness, how am I supposed to...
-Gosh, this... -Mom, are you okay?
-I can't believe this. -Mom, try to calm down, okay?
What? Did you... Did you know?
Well... Yes.
My goodness!
When are you going to come to your senses?
You should be focusing on getting your degree.
Why do you always waste your time on playing games?
You should be studying hard right now.
Why are you wasting your time on other things?
Mom, why are you taking it out on him?
Exactly. What did I do--
Do you think you are in a position to talk back to me?
How could you disappoint me like this?
Follow me inside. Hurry up.
Mom.
-Mom. -Hurry up!
But we need to finish talking about...
How could you keep it from me? How could you?
Do you want to ruin your sister's life?
-What are you talking about? -Shut your mouth. Shut it!
Listen to me carefully.
Don't hang out with Jun-hui from now on.
I can't believe this.
My gosh.
Are you leaving?
I think I should.
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who should be sorry. I should've discussed it with you first.
Just listen to whatever your mom has to say, okay?
Don't talk back to her.
I don't want you to go through any trouble when I'm not with you.
Okay?
You should go inside.
Why?
I know how to get to the first floor.
I'll call you.
You should go.
-I'm going to kill this brat. -Mom!
-Come over here. -Mom, don't. Stop.
-Let go of me! -Just tell her that you're sorry.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Are you out of your mind? How can you be so brazen right now?
I get that you're angry,
but how could you just ignore him like that?
It was Jun-hui, for goodness' sake.
How could you ignore him like that?
My gosh, I'm the one who wants to ask you why it has to be Jun-hui
of all people.
Why can't it be him?
What's the reason?
Because you knew him since he was little?
Because you thought of him as a son?
So what?
What difference does that make? What's the big deal?
This is not the time to talk back to her!
I really can't believe you right now.
You're completely out of your mind,
-you brat! -Mom!
How could you choose him of all people?
You think it's not a big deal?
This is a disaster!
I didn't choose him. He chose me.
I was lucky enough to be chosen.
You have no idea
how much I'm in love with him.
-Have you gone mad? -Mom, please.
-You! -Mom, please!
You'd better listen to me while I'm being nice.
Don't even dream of seeing him ever again.
Don't even expect that I'll listen to you.
I'm going to date him.
I'm going to date him no matter what.
-You little... -Mom!
-Let go of me. Let go. -Mom.
-Mom, calm down! -Let go of me!
How dare you talk back to me?
How dare you raise your voice to me?
You should be ashamed of yourself! How dare you be so brazen?
What? You're going to date him?
Do you think you're making any sense?
He's your brother.
How is he my brother?
Did you give birth to him?
Do you think that's the only thing that matters?
I thought of him like my own, and that makes him my son.
To your dad and I,
he's our son just like Seung-ho is.
I don't think of him that way.
To me, Jun-hui is just a man I like.
You little...
What? A man you like?
How... How dare you? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Fine, keep acting that way.
Okay. Let's see who wins.
Did you think it would be easy?
Fighting Mom will be no good for you guys.
Don't you know who you are dealing with?
Mom is not the type to let her children have their way.
I just wanted to check up on you.
Don't cry.
-Be quiet. -What?
Mom found out about Jun-hui and Jin-a. It was a mess.
Let me take care of it.
Mi-yeon.
My goodness.
I already approved of
their relationship.
Mom, here's some water.
Both of them are grown-ups, and they are dating.
What's the problem?
What's he saying?
You approved of what?
Why? What's there not to approve of?
They're in love.
So why stop them?
Does this mean everyone knew about them
except for me?
You must be upset for being the last one to find out.
I was the first to find out.
-I'm going to rip his mouth apart! -Mom!
-Mom, are you okay? -Are you okay?
-My gosh, this isn't good. -I think I'm going to die.
Let me see.
I didn't cry.
I'm telling the truth.
We agreed to talk about it later.
I think my mom acted that way because she was really surprised
and taken aback.
Yes, I know.
Yes.
You shouldn't feel too upset about it either.
I hope you understand.
-Yes. -Jin-a!
Come outside.
I'll call you back.
My gosh.
What are you doing? Go get the car.
Actually, I had some beer a while ago.
Wait here.
You're completely useless.
We won't be of much help.
Do you think so?
You should have been born a daughter.
You aren't the most reliable person in the family either.
It sucks to be a man.
I know.
I won't use this to my advantage to make you approve of my relationship.
So don't worry.
Stop acting like you're being generous.
You're in no place to be picky.
This happened because of you!
Okay, I get it.
-Try to-- -My gosh.
Hang in there. I'll be gentle.
Goodness.
-Can we leave? -Yes.
My gosh.
What would we have done without Jin-a?
She took care of everything perfectly.
My daughter is the best.
She's not lacking in any way.
She is extremely trustworthy.
I'll kick you out of the car.
You are no better than your dad.
I didn't even do anything.
Why did you tag along if you weren't going to do anything?
You said it yourself.
Don't use this as your opportunity to call it even.
All right.
Why are you doing this?
Don't you already know?
I wouldn't have asked if I knew.
Sleep on the couch!
What did I do wrong?
It's all my fault.
Don't fight your mom.
She will come at you harder if you do.
Neither should you.
You always say unnecessary things
when you know it's only going to get you in trouble.
It's fun.
You know,
it won't be easy for your mom to accept it.
Still, you shouldn't resent her or hate her.
I already do.
You know she always wants the best for you.
It's not like I don't know that.
Let's try harder, both of us.
You don't seem to get together with others after work as often these days.
You rarely join us. Why do you care?
I didn't miss out on purpose.
I always had a prior commitment.
Why don't you get together much?
Things aren't looking so great these days.
Good morning.
-Good morning. -What is it?
Why are you still out here?
What happened between you and Mr. Nam?
What is it?
Why did you become so nosy all of a sudden?
I mean,
you two used to get along very well.
An easygoing person like you would not act this way
unless they have a good reason to.
You are a good judge of character.
The thing is...
-He has been stressing me out... -Go on.
Gosh, never mind.
I should buy you a drink at someplace nice.
You mean it? Seriously?
I'm your colleague.
I should be there for you when you need me.
Where do you mean by "someplace nice"? Do you have a place in mind?
Of course.
Where?
Ms. Yoon doesn't come to the office often nowadays.
Is she too busy?
The store is keeping her busy,
but I'm sure she is also busy with other things.
You knew?
You too?
Is there something I should know?
-Dong-u, we're going to be late. Let's go. -Well...
Why didn't you tell me?
Did she tell you not to tell me?
So, it did bother her.
Then why did she say she isn't sorry?
Let's begin the meeting.
And what else did she say?
Did she tell you how she'll make it up to me?
-Who do you mean? -Were you even listening?
You said Jin-a told you about her boyfriend.
I heard it from the person directly involved.
Yes, that is--
Who do you mean?
Mr. Seo.
I asked him if he knows who her boyfriend is, and he went,
"It's me."
Mom injured her arm.
So I think I should go home early for the time being.
Gosh.
Okay, but slow down. You'll upset your stomach.
I have to go back to the store. We are short-handed today.
I picked a girlfriend who is too busy.
I know I'm a handful.
You are not. I am.
Why do you say that?
Never mind.
Forget it. I was just saying.
Don't say something like that.
I put you through trouble, you know.
That was because of my mom. Why would you take the blame?
You were the one who told me not to put myself down.
I must have looked really stupid.
Is that what you thought of me all along?
I always thought you were pretty.
Gosh.
I fall for flattery too easily.
I wouldn't have been able to win you over if you weren't like that.
Anyway, don't you ever say that--
-I won't. -Don't you ever.
I won't. I'll never say such a thing.
Don't you ever, all right?
Slow down.
This is too big.
I'm done.
Take your time.
Welcome.
What would you like to order?
-Get the upper left side. -Yes, ma'am.
Use this.
Ms. Kim, are you hurt?
-How did you-- -It's nothing serious.
It doesn't seem like it. You should've been careful.
Let's talk inside.
Even you knew?
It hasn't been long since I found out.
Words can't express how shocked I was.
But it already happened.
We should wish them the best.
How can you...
That's not how we should handle this.
Jin-a and Jun-hui are practically family.
I know that.
-But what can we do when they're in love? -Gosh!
Just the thought of it makes me cringe.
I'm being like this
because I think of Jun-hui as my own son.
You should think about it carefully.
This isn't something we can take lightly.
Jun-hui is a good kid in every aspect, I know.
I know I have a tendency to judge people by their family background and such.
But we are talking about Jun-hui here.
I would never do that with him.
-You shouldn't. -Of course, I shouldn't.
Don't get me wrong.
They've known each other for so long. I just think they are confused
and making a huge mistake.
Speaking of which...
Do you really think they reached this decision
based on rational reasons?
Is that what you think?
I have not thought about that.
I knew it.
No wonder.
I knew it was unlike you to make such a bad judgment.
Gyeong-seon.
You're his older sister.
What does that make you?
You're practically his parent.
Jun-hui's still young,
so you need to guide him toward the right path, right?
Don't you remember what you always said to me?
You always said you would take responsibility
and guide Jun-hui to the right path until the very end.
I didn't know this was putting his whole life at risk.
There's nothing grand about life.
It's just a process
of pursuing righteousness by trying to take all the right steps.
That's why taking a single wrong step
can't get one's life back on track.
Well, there's no need for me to explain this to you.
I know you are with me on this.
We're very much alike, you know.
Don't you agree?
Bus number 740
and 7726 will be arriving soon.
My goodness.
Yes.
Did you go somewhere?
-Where were you? -Help me take this off.
Sit down for a second.
I met Gyeong-seon.
My gosh.
What's that reaction?
How could you be so nonchalant about this?
Jin-a's your one-and-only daughter.
Are you okay with her dating Jun-hui?
What if I am and what if I'm not? They're already in love.
You're being overly positive again.
Some people say it's better to have no in-laws
than to have difficult in-laws.
But that's not the case for Jun-hui.
He'll have to take care of all his step-siblings.
That means they'll become Jin-a's responsibility.
Are you going to let them get married?
Gosh.
You need to filter what you say.
Listen to me carefully.
Stop trying to support your daughter unconditionally
and start trying to become a better parent.
Just think about what's best for Jin-a, okay?
Your daughter's life depends on this.
How can they not know that they aren't good enough for us?
What's this?
Go wash your hands.
Here.
Eat up.
It's your favorite dish.
Let me know why you're doing this before I eat.
What do you mean?
I just wanted to cook these
because I was craving a variety of dishes.
You can't fool me.
Well, then don't ask.
Just eat up.
Let's try harder
and live a better life. Let's keep our heads up.
Your cooking gets better and better.
You should get married.
Don't make me laugh.
You can't even survive a day without me.
Don't use me as your excuse.
You are the one who can't live without me.
Yes, you're right.
So you'd better stay by my side.
I'll kill you if you don't.
Then be nice to me while I'm still around.
How can I be nicer?
You can never find another sister like me.
It'd be a disaster if I do.
You alone are too much to handle already.
-You little... -Because you make me so happy.
You've brought so much happiness into my life.
It's delicious.
-Eat up. -Okay.
If you take your medicine right after you eat,
your stomach will hurt less.
-I'll do it. -Forget it.
Just give it to me.
You should've kept it a secret,
but it seems like you've told everyone.
Even Gyeong-seon knew.
What did you say?
What did you say to her?
There was no need to say much.
She's quick-witted.
She's not dumb like you.
I'm an adult.
I can date
and get married without my parents' permission.
Is that so?
Fine, let's see how things turn out.
Stay still.
You might regret it later.
I'm not the type to regret anything.
My gosh, stay still. You'll get hurt.
You're going to sleep already?
Yes, I'm so tired from doing the housework.
You only washed the dishes.
I folded all the laundry, and I even took out the trash.
You did a great job.
I know that, so cut me some slack today.
Okay. You should go to sleep then.
Okay, I'll call you tomorrow.
Is that all?
My gosh.
"My gosh"?
Okay, fine. I love you so much.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Gosh, this is so annoying. Why can't I stop crying?
Gyeong-seon, what can I do for you?
Don't bother doing anything.
Should I make you laugh?
Gosh, don't bother. It's fine.
What are you going to do?
-You already know what I'm going to do. -Hey, stop.
No, don't.
My gosh, what's wrong with you? You're so embarrassing.
Yeong-in asked you to gather evidence?
Yes. I contemplated on whether I should tell you or not.
But I felt like you should know.
She's not the type to ask for evidence without a plan.
I have a lot of meetings outside of the office,
so I rarely interact with the female employees.
And I also keep my distance from the male employees.
So I guess she thought no one would be suspicious of me
even when I approach them.
-If you don't want me to do it... -Do it.
Yeong-in must be really determined.
Have a seat.
I want you to do something for me.
I want you to gather evidence regarding all the unfair treatments
toward the female employees, not just regarding sexual harassment
but also regarding work.
I chose you two because you guys answered the survey most honestly.
I thought it was anonymous.
Just think that you couldn't hide from me.
Any other questions?
Is the survey not enough?
The participation rate is too low,
and we are not sure if what they wrote is actually true.
How do we get evidence on the male employees?
I will take care of it.
Are you saying you'll seek resolution for complaints
only if they can be backed by hard evidence?
Yes, for now. And I'm hoping that the unreported assailants
will end up turning themselves in.
But I might be asking for too much.
Chat history and text messages?
I'm hoping it ends there.
I hope there isn't anything worse...
I don't even want to think about it.
Come in.
Mr. Nam, here's the sales report.
The sales report?
Ms. Kang, how long have you worked as a supervisor?
It's my seventh year.
Already?
How's the work?
I'm used to everything now.
With your experience and competence,
don't you think it's time for you to get a promotion?
There are a lot of female employees in our company,
so it might seem like no one really stands out.
But how should I put this?
There's always the one who stands out. Don't you agree?
I'll take that as a compliment.
Gosh, of course.
But you see,
the circumstances are quite difficult.
Picking just one person to support
isn't as easy as it sounds.
Why?
Because people spread rumors.
What exactly is your point?
Well, it's nothing grand.
But as you already know,
there's something going on.
So...
if I were
to support you,
I need to be in a stable position.
You know.
Instead of just looking into our sales...
You know what I mean.
I'll try to look into what's going on.
You're smart.
You're really quick-witted.
What would happen to the assailants once we reveal the truth?
They'll get fired, right?
No way.
You think it'll end with a punishment? That can't happen.
We need to fight for their dismissal.
That's taking things a bit too far.
They're all just trying to earn a living.
And we aren't?
Why are you getting all riled up?
I just don't want the confrontation to affect you negatively, that's all.
Why are you excluding yourself?
What are you talking about?
Stop grilling me, okay?
I'm off.
That little...
Is this really okay?
Isn't this too expensive?
Gosh, don't worry. Just eat up.
Hey, I can afford to treat my colleague to this kind of meal.
Eat up. We can order more.
Anyway, I have to say
that I'm very proud of us for coming this far.
Well, we did get some help on the way.
Who helped us?
In your case,
Mr. Nam has been taking such great care of you.
That's total bullshit.
He can still be in that position thanks to me.
Right, you've been supporting him in many aspects.
That's not everything.
Everyone will be screwed if I open my mouth.
Hey, do you remember?
That girl who used to be in HR and got married. What was her name?
-Her name was-- -You see,
only Mr. Nam could touch her.
Is he that bad?
I'm... I never really noticed it.
You need to become a better judge of character to succeed.
There's more.
You know that I recently went on a business trip with Yoon Jin-a, right?
-Yes. -Even then... Gosh, don't get me started.
Didn't he just tell you to treat them to a meal?
This is precisely why those who hold themselves back are idiots.
Let's be honest. I only did those things when I got excited
during our team dinners
because we were having so much fun together.
Yes, that's right.
But things got out of hand because the female employees got the wrong idea.
However, he's on a whole different level.
Oh, I found it. Gosh, you have to hear this.
"We must finalize a deal that benefits us.
It'd be a good idea to use Yoon Jin-a to break the ice."
Hey, he basically meant that I should use her
to lure them to give us what we need, don't you think?
Gosh, I'm...
-I can't-- -Look, I'm not making it up.
But Yoon Jin-a must have sensed that something was up.
She backed out of it.
Gosh, that girl...
Dad, what are you doing here?
I've been waiting for you so that I can take you out on a date.
You must have something to tell me.
What is it?
I'm going to tell you something,
but don't get the wrong idea.
First and foremost,
I want you to know that your mom and I put you first in everything
and that it's our duty to lead you
to the right direction.
I know that you're upset with your mom, but...
I'm not upset.
I'm just disappointed.
Right.
But you can understand her, right?
No, I can't understand her.
Why doesn't she like Jun-hui?
What's wrong with him?
Nothing's wrong with him, but...
I know that it's not right
to judge people based on the environment
they grew up in or what they have,
but parental absence has a huge impact on children.
Dad.
You can't overlook the importance of parents in one's life.
Even when you step into the real world,
there are things that you must learn from your parents.
And when things are hard,
your parents can give you advice from their experience.
That's how parents help you grow and mature.
Is Jun-hui a jerk?
Is he rude or disrespectful toward elders?
-No, he's not. -Then what's the problem?
There's no legitimate reason whatsoever.
Do you think I'm loved by everyone because I was brought up by you and Mom?
Not at all.
I guess both you and Mom
are proud of me because I'm your daughter,
but I'm nothing special.
Actually, other people are far better than me in some respects.
Jun-hui?
I'm more than grateful that he's with me.
At times, I wonder if I really deserve to be his girlfriend
because he's such a wonderful person.
Your perspective is different from your mom's or mine.
What's love?
You said that it's the parents' job to teach their children how to be better.
Then tell me what love is.
Dad.
For the first time in my life,
I'm learning what love is
and how to love someone.
I've been learning a lot from Jun-hui.
Even everything I did for Mom at the hospital...
How I helped her get changed,
put on her shoes,
and get down from the bed...
Even how I talked to her lovingly...
He's always worried about me falling or getting hurt.
Even though I'm an adult,
he's always anxious, which shows how much he loves me.
He's been pouring all his love on me,
your daughter.
Why can't you approve of a guy who loves your daughter that much?
How can you disapprove of him?
He's such a warm-hearted person.
He's very kind.
I won't listen to you.
I'll give up only when I experience it myself
and feel like it's not going to work.
Until that happens, I won't break up with him
no matter what you say or do.
I don't care if I disappoint you.
I'm disappointed in you and Mom too.
You left the store a while ago.
Why aren't you home yet?
Where are you now?
Why do you sound so down?
You're not feeling sick, are you?
You can't get sick.
Your voice sounds strange.
My nose is stuffed up because it's cold.
I guess you're not dressed warmly enough.
I'm totally bundled up.
Do you have to work all night again?
No, we are almost done with the project.
And here's my proposal.
What is it?
Let's cook something at home this weekend.
I can't cook.
I was worried that you might volunteer.
So?
What will you cook for me?
I can make anything you want.
Anything I want?
Of course.
I can do anything for you, Jin-a.
What do you want?
I want...
I want you.
All I want is you, Jun-hui.
Why are you back alone?
If you're that curious, you should've just joined us.
I don't want to repeat myself. Ask Dad when he gets home.
Make sure you're free this weekend.
A friend of mine wants to set you up with a guy.
You're so childish
to the point that it disgusts me.
That brat...
They're thoughtful enough, you know.
Why don't we just leave them be and see what happens?
What if they become too attached to each other?
How can you make such an irresponsible remark as her dad?
They've already fallen for each other. It's not like we can pull them apart.
That's not how love works.
What? Love?
What the hell are you talking about?
It's just because they've known each other forever.
It's definitely not love.
Then what is love? Do you even know what it is?
Goodness. Why don't you tell me what it is?
I'm not telling you.
-Gosh, we're not done talking. -Just turn the lights off.
Don't you dare step on me.
I can see everything.
Will the next game be about cooking?
What are you talking about?
Then why are you looking at cooking sites?
I want to invite Jin-a over and cook something for her this weekend.
Why don't you do that for me? Gosh, seriously.
It's too early for you to get jealous.
Are you trying to say that it'll only get worse?
You won't be able to handle it.
Are you mad?
Yes, I'm so mad right now.
Come on. Cut me some slack.
I can't!
Have a good night.
CANADA
Hello?
Yes, who is this?
It's me, Gyeong-seon.
Oh, hey. What's up?
Do you have a moment to talk?
-Right now? -You can't talk now?
Well... I'm out with my kid now.
I'm your child too, Dad.
Why do you say such a thing out of the blue?
Then what else would you like me to talk about?
Do you want me to wish you happiness?
Or should I never call you again?
Gosh...
Do you even know how many years it has been?
Have you ever wondered how Jun-hui and I are doing?
All right.
You say that all the time.
Until when are you going to avoid us like this?
Should we really not expect anything from you, Dad?
Let's talk another time.
I'm drinking so that I can fall asleep.
Why can't you fall asleep?
Because I miss you.
It's just an excuse for you to drink.
If I could, I'd show you
how much I miss you right now.
I miss you too.
It's really killing me.
I don't miss you that much.
Don't grimace, okay?
This is nice.
What's nice?
It's as if we can see each other even when we're not together.
I heard that.
My boyfriend is drinking,
so I figured I should drink too.
I would've shut you up if you were here.
With what?
With what you're thinking right now.
Count to ten, okay?
Open the door.
I don't think it's a mistake that I decided to date Jin-a.
You don't meet my standards.
Why do you always say that you're okay?
-Come here. -You can get angry all you want.
You can totally bad-mouth my mom.
Yoon Jin-a is here.
We're doing this for you. You can't just keep backing out of it.
Those whom Mr. Nam harassed...
Gosh, Jin-a...
Let's not betray each other.
-Call me your brother-in-law. Stop. -Brother-in-law, my foot.
-He's my brother. -He's my boyfriend!
Dad's here.
Who cares what he has to say? I don't even want to listen to him.
Who else would care this much about me?
You always put up with all the stress alone.
Why did you lie to me? Why?
Get off her. Right now! I told you to get off her!
Jin-a.
I'm okay. I really am.
I'm okay too.
I can get through anything.
